(Closed) Wanted goofy fun reception but now too late?

i really suck at this wedding planning deal and basically waited till the last 2-3months to make any decisions lol

its subtly doctor who themed and we are having all duct tape flowers 🙂 wedding is on a budget, rather DIY, and reception is cake/punch/snack type foods only.

But now I’m feeling very torn.. I have said all along I wanted butcher paper table cloths cuz my cousins wedding had it and it was cute, festive and a lot of fun! And I REALLY liked the idea of having little toys to play w on the tables..thanks to a post I saw on the offbeat bride site 🙂

Then found out the venue/church doesnt have enough rectangle tables and we would need to use round ones too.. so in a sleep deprived panic I ended up on a website for real linen cuz I couldn’t think of an easy way to make butcher paper look nice on a round table (limited time and all).. Then found amazing taffeta navy and silver table cloths..decent price for what it is, (our colors and the fact that its almost metallic fits even more w our invites).. So again, in a fit of sleep deprived panic i Ended up ordering them.. $300 frigggin dollars later!!! (And I’m gunna hafta alter the damn overlays cuz they will be too big but a friend said shed help me (we both sew so it’s an easy fix).

Now what do I do?! How do I combine what I really friggin wanted (toys/crayons/butcher paper) w shiny really nice more elegant table cloths?? I like em, they are super pretty but I didn’t budget nearly that much and I dunno what to do 🙁

What about having placemats from a nicer type of paper than butcher paper, Almost like a paper charger plate.The little toys could somehow be incorporated into the centerpiece. And you could put crayons in short jam jars labeled ” be creative while you wait for your food”.
